Randyp Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 just a quick question; I've had 2 firewire drives crash this week, (unrepairable, sent back to manufacturer) right after doing a back up with retrospect express. Is there any way Retrospect could have caused this or help cause it. Is there a bug of late that causes this in firewire devices? I'm using a Mac G4 OS 9.0.4. Retrospect Xpress Sony edition 4.3. I've used retrospect for years now, (at my last job and here) with the Mac and NT and I love it! I'm getting both the firewire drives repaired. I'm just trying to figure out why so they both don't do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 I use FireWire hard drives for backup devices on my G4 and have never had a problem. Retrospect tests FireWire devices heavily and the problem you describe is not one we have seen at Dantz. I would suggest upgrading the operating system so that you are running the latest FireWire drivers from Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
